This video and the information given in its short fifteen minutes needs to be seen by everyone in the U.S. and particularly by those threatened by "drought" in the south west areas. We have the solutions to our dilemmas - where is Mainstream Media - place these kinds of stories on your front pages and make headline news with the solutions to our problems and do humanity some good!

The economic effect of improving the environment like all other positive progress of any kind is to make land more valuable. The value of land is held mostly in private hands and is the entire motivation for all land speculation and environmental abuse. Since all land value is created 100% by the community as a whole it will be necessary to shift our tax systems to taxes on land values to capture the value we all create to pay for community services and projects like the ones promoted here.

You are missing the point. THis way costs LESS. So you would actually be shifting money away from that... you could spend it on hospitals.

The movement to shift taxes onto land values is much larger and more profound in its implications for greening cities, providing the economic incentive for cities to rebuild while becoming more compact with less carbon foot print and ending urban sprawl than than most people know or are even willing to think about since the favorite American game is to reap unearned rewards by speculating with land which is the underlying motivation for all real estate investment for profit over real use.
